"I did indeed suffer serious injuries. To repel the enemy, I released the profound ice cold qi from my life-saving flying sword, which I had cultivated painstakingly for many years. At that time, things were quite chaotic. Everyone, including those who harmed me, was eager to enter the next level. It was only by sheer luck that I managed to escape unscathed," Bai Yaoyi recounted with lingering fear.
"Oh, according to what you said, it seems you are not very familiar with the person who attacked you?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.
"That person should be among the group of cultivators who unsealed the seal. At that time, I was in a stalemate with another person and was ambushed by that person. The giant ice formed by the profound ice cold qi cannot be easily broken unless a later-stage cultivator personally destroys it. However, with my serious injuries, I was also unable to break free. It was fortunate that Senior Han came to my rescue. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Speaking of which, Senior Han is indeed formidable. With a mere wave of his hand, he dispelled the cold qi in me," Bai Yaoyi said with a trace of admiration.
"It's nothing, just a small effort. By the way, how did Bai Daoist friend end up here?" Han Li asked casually.
"After Senior Han parted ways with Fu Daoist friend and me, we went to search for a secret pavilion in Kunwu Mountain and gained some benefits. Originally, I was already satisfied and planned to withdraw. But unexpectedly, such an astonishing treasure phenomenon occurred near the Demon-Sealing Tower. Both of us were tempted by greed and came over to join the excitement. As a result, we encountered many cultivators chasing each other towards the Demon-Sealing Tower. There were familiar faces from the Yin Luo Sect and others from the group who unsealed the seal, as well as the Silver-winged Yaksha and several wandering cultivators. In fact, when we saw so many powerful cultivators gathered there, both of us regretted and wanted to leave. However, someone attacked us without reason, and we were thus drawn into the chaos. I was chased and forced to flee here. Unfortunately, I lost sight of Fu Daoist friend along the way. It seems he found an opportunity to escape the chaos," Bai Yaoyi explained roughly to Han Li, while glancing nervously at the ugly woman beside him.
Apparently, she sensed the monstrous beast nature of the girl and the terrible demonic energy on her body.
"Bai Daoist friend, you don't need to worry. Gui Ling Daoist has agreed to join hands with me. Otherwise, Han would not dare to come here alone," Han Li noticed the woman's suspicion and smiled.
At this point, Gui Ling also squeezed out a smile.
"I see, considering Senior Han's wisdom, how could he be as confused as the two of us!" Bai Yaoyi didn't believe that the relationship between the ugly woman and Han Li was as simple as it seemed on the surface, but she still relaxed a little.
"However, on my way here, I saw the remains of Fu Daoist friend. He has fallen," Han Li said calmly, revealing the news of the death of the old man with the surname Fu.
"Fu Daoist friend is dead?" Bai Yaoyi was greatly surprised and showed a horrified expression in her eyes.
"It was I who handled his body. It seems he didn't even have time to escape with his Nascent Soul. By the way, when you were in the ice just now, did you sense anyone passing through here?" Han Li suddenly remembered the person with the blood knife and asked with a flash of cold light in his eyes.
"Others? I didn't sense anyone. Why, have other cultivators come in?" Bai Yaoyi was stunned and didn't understand why Han Li asked this question.
"Since that's the case, then it's fine. Bai Daoist friend has suffered considerable damage to her vitality. What are your plans now?" For some reason, Han Li contemplated for a moment and did not mention the scattered real people, but instead turned his head to look at the entrance to the lower level, asking the woman in a calm tone.
